My Uncanny Sighs of Distress and the Tears of TribulationI’m in distress
I can’t express
How I feel deep down inside
This feeling is a terrible tide

Same Ol' Song and DanceAs I look back across more musical times
of rhythmic reflections,
ceremonies and commemorations
of each dawn and dusk eremitic liturgy,
if that is not an oxymoron
of sound and sight,
song and dance,
tragically sad, yet also bilaterally bound with happier...

Comedy of Impeaching ErrorsThe Republican congressmen,
and I do mean white privileged straight men,
came to their Democratic opposition
concerned about how depressing
December can be,
and all of winter,
come to think and feel
of dark discerning Advent,
So maybe we could stage
a comedic debate
about...

Journey Companions: the Friend Sonnets Part IiHEROES
Near somber guards, units of children heap
dead leaves, naive to any else fallen.

of duty on this day of contradictions.
Firefighters bow heads in silent paean,

The God Complex
“The God Complex”
His face imprinted
hidden under layers of ink
he whispers his words
like a haunting breeze
dust blown off the pages
towards the back of their minds
once-in-a-while
reminding them of stories
they are eventually, all souls
book-marked

Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 28Quietly, the memory of my grandfather manifested itself,
In the colors and shimmers of the Holy Spirit,
I saw his human face,
The familiar lines, the flesh,
The pair of oceanic eyes, slowly blinking
Smiling,
Like a heavenly beam
Splashing...

The Ambiguous ApprenticeWhen does ambiguously free verse
also become emphatically political verbing verse?
I was emphatically reading pieces
ambiguously written
about my sons,
to my oldest son's girlfriend.
The longer I read

Now it had been my hope
and passion
to become...

Paper Tigers
"Paper Tigers"
eyes mark slow time
spotting leopard rhyme
never changing its spots
black balled
white pops
the want-to-be bees
sting the dripping honey spot
slapping cards down
kitty pots are shuffled
bluffing intelligentsia
between the gaps
flatulent poets floss their teeth
waxing lyrical strings
tied to the weary...
